I Respect Honesty and Integrity

As I quietly reflect, I think the two biggest things people in general fear are being honest and being successful. Being honest means that we must expose ourselves to potential rejection or ridicule. However, being honest also means that people can take what is before them or leave but at least you know you were upfront. Flipping back to potential arguments against being 100% up front, one might say that it exposes oneself to vulnerability and that's not always a good feeling.

As for the fear of success, many often don't know what direction to go once success sinks in. Further, many are poor with money and success may only make that aspect worse. However, without giving whatever your all, you may never know what you can achieve.

Being silly, kind and honest are the three things that seem to lead to a simpler life. You only go around once or so they say...might as well be the best you can be and demonstrate the kind of person people enjoy, respect and look up to. Here's to honesty and success. :)

You're welcome. I love to reflect on things and i definitely agree about success, a lot of us tend to be trifled at what we believe we can succeed at and sometimes thinking we need a specific and almost unrealistic starting point to blaze our trail.
